Commu is a Finnish peer support app that makes it easy and effortless to help and support others. Kristiinankaupunki is working with Commu to build a stronger and more community-minded municipality. Join Commu to help! Commu is completely free to use.

For example, you can find a running buddy, a chatting buddy, helping hands for charity work, a shelter for a pet. You can also volunteer to help, for example by offering a carpool, a snow job, peer support, a helping hand with yard work.

As a Cittaslow City, the City of Kristiinankaupunki wants to invest in the well-being of its residents and increase the sense of community. In 2024, we will celebrate 375 years of the city and community. Community is about being together, supporting each other, and working together to make the world a little better place. We hope that all residents, associations and other actors will benefit from this new platform and that they will use it to find new forms of community by asking for and offering help. Let's do good together!

Where to get help?

Commu is backed by a team of young entrepreneurs from Tampere. Karoliina Kauhanen, Sami Ekmark and Ronnie Nygren founded Commu in late 2021 because they wanted to make it easier to ask for and give help. Commun aims to reduce loneliness and exclusion, and to increase community and everyday life skills. The Commu app is free to download and easy to use.

The whole Commu team wishes you a great time helping! If you have any questions or suggestions, please send an email to sami@commuapp.fi or call Sami on 044 3774707.
